Wula City in Jilin is 2,300 miles away from the capital. In Manchu, it means "city along the river".
This place was originally called "Shipyard". In the 15th year of Shunzhi, in order to prevent the invasion of the Oros, the Qing government set up a shipyard here to build warships and set up a deputy capital to garrison it.
In the 15th year of Kangxi's reign, the Qing government exchanged General Ning Guta and Vice-Capital of the Shipyard. Jilin City began to prosper.
In the fifth year of Yongzheng's reign, Yongji Prefecture was established to govern Jilin City. Later, due to population agglomeration, especially the large increase in the population of Han bannermen, Yongji Prefecture was turned into Jilin Hall in the twelfth year of Qianlong (1747), with the director Tong Zhiqi, directly led by General Ning Guta.
Fukang'an, Hailancha and his entourage began their journey north on April 2 and traveled a long distance until late April when they arrived at Wula City in Jilin.
At noon, with the sound of a gong clearing the way, a group of cavalry came from the south. The leader of the honor guard held up several pieces of half-person tall tiger heads and spleens on a blue background with the words "Imperial Envoy, Crown Prince's Protector, Imperial Minister, Minister of the Ministry of War, Minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs", and another sign read "Civil and military officials, soldiers and civilians of all palaces, please avoid."
Outside the Great North Gate, cannons sounded and drums sounded loudly.
The group of people stopped slowly outside the west gate of Jilin City. In the procession, a large green cloth sedan, which was obviously much larger than the average eight-carriage sedan, walked out of the flag soldiers and landed steadily. The accompanying Gesheha stepped forward and opened the sedan curtain, and a young official with a slender figure and a pale face walked out of the sedan.
This man was wearing an official robe with nine pythons and five claws, and a brand new crane patch. He had slender eyes, a white face and a slight beard, and looked very shrewd and capable. This was Fu Kang'an, Qianlong's first minister of propaganda.
After Fukang'an walked out, a soldier named Geshiha also walked out of the sedan, holding a tray in both hands. On it was the imperial envoy's customs guard wrapped in bright yellow satin.
This important official of the Manchu Qing Dynasty must use a sedan chair when traveling. There were thirty-six people accompanying the sedan chair alone. They took turns carrying the sedan chair during the trip, walking as fast as flying. Even when he went out to supervise the formation, Fukang'an would ride in a sedan chair and equip each bearer with four good horses. After the bearers changed shifts, they would follow on horseback.
Fukang'an looked at the civil and military officials waiting in front of him, raised his head and said to Jilin General Duerjia: "Have Wu Teshan and Anlin been escorted?"
Jilin General Du Erjia stepped forward and raised his hands and said: "Report to the Commander-in-Chief, we will make arrangements after receiving your pass. The two of them arrived the day before yesterday and are now being held in the back office of the office."
Fukang'an asked again: "Is Tuoketong'a here?"
"I have seen the handsome man under the banner."
Fu Ankang took a look and then said calmly: "Okay. It's getting late."
As soon as he said this, several officials who had originally thought of approaching him had no choice but to retreat. Everyone stood in order and knelt down facing Fukang'an to pray to the saint.
"General Jilin, Chen Duerjia, led by his civil and military officials, respectfully greets you!"
"Blessings, Holy Gong!" Fukang'an answered on behalf of Heaven with his hands raised.
After the ceremony, Fukangan turned around and returned to the sedan chair. The group of people went straight to the General's Office along the North Street in the city.
At this time, Jilin City only had three city walls in the east, west and north, with the Songhua River in the south. There are five gates in the city, and corresponding to the five gates are five streets. In order to prevent slippery and muddy weather in rain and snow, these five streets are paved with wooden boards.
At this time, the people in various shops on North Street were kneeling on the roadside to welcome the imperial envoy. After the imperial envoy and Jilin City officials passed by, they all stood up.
Several businessmen walked into a shop, looked at the large group of people entering the general's office, and whispered.
"Look, the young general from the Fucha family is here again."
"Master Fu is now the Taibao of the Crown Prince and the Minister of the Ministry of War. What kind of 'young general' are you talking about? If people hear you, I will give you a stick!"
"Tsk, tsk, Marshal Fu's sedan is different. It's said to be carried by eight people, but I think it's not much smaller than the one carried by sixteen people."
"That's right, don't even look at who it is. Can Marshal Fu be the same as others? That is the emperor's special decree, and he is the only one in the world!"
"Why do you think Marshal Fu is here?"
"I said you know how to pull the abacus beads every day. Don't you know about Hunchun?"
"You mean? Oops, I remembered it. Good guy! The emperor even sent him here."
"How fresh! More than a hundred armored soldiers died. This matter will never end until we get to the bottom of it."
"Oh, I'm afraid that we will have to pay for it again in two days. I heard that this guy has no limits on spending money. Even his followers will be rewarded with thousands of taels."
As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately became exhausted, hurriedly dispersed, and went back to their own shops to make arrangements.
Fukang'an and his entourage arrived at the office. After getting off the sedan, he said to Hailancha behind him: "Everyone has three days of rest, eat well and sleep well to refresh yourself!"
"Hey! I obey the order!"
At this time, Jilin Tongzhi, who was waiting aside, said with a respectful face: "The commander has been working hard all the way, and his subordinates have prepared meals in the flower hall to express their feelings to us."
When Hailancha heard this, he smiled indifferently. He followed Fukang'an all the way north. Although the journey was long, it was not hard at all. All the stations along the way served him with great care, and there was no shortage of delicacies.
Fukang'an himself has always been used to luxury, and he is also very generous to his subordinates. The three hundred firearms battalion generals who followed him northward and the Batulu guard Zhang Jing were extremely satisfied. They felt that following Marshal Fu on errands was a first-class job in the world.
Fukang'an snorted coldly and said: "Don't do these vain things at this time. The emperor is very worried, and we ministers must also be loyal to the emperor."
Looking at a group of embarrassed officials, he ignored them and turned around to continue: "Dulga, call a meeting and talk about military affairs immediately. Where is the map?"
"Please come with me, Marshal."
In a large room in the office, a huge map of General Jilin is hung on the wall.
Fukangan and Hailancha stood in front of the map and looked at it for a while, and then asked Duerjia: "What's the situation now?"
"The rest of the islands in the South China Sea have been inspected, and no one has been found. I have sent people to the Furjiaha River area, but there is still no news."
"Not far enough! Check further east! The Oros people have big boats, and they are likely to follow these rivers deep into the interior." Fukang'an pointed to the east of the Furjiaha River, and his finger fell on the Sila River Said: "Notify Hunchun Water Camp! The entrance of every river must be checked. On land, let the Hezhe and Feyaka people help find it."
"This matter has been notified to the heads of various ministries and Gesanda more than ten days ago. They are now sending people to the east to look for it. It is estimated that there will be news in two days."
Fu Ankang nodded. He turned around and admonished the civil and military officials in the room: "The Wulin Appreciation Party will start in two months. If it is delayed because of this matter, it will miss the important events of the court. These Oros The thieves have a lot of firearms, report them immediately if you find them, and never act without permission."
"Follow the Commander-in-Chief's orders!"
"Who is in charge of Ning Guta now?"
Du Erjia said: "Now I am represented by Deputy Commander Hulan."
Fukangan nodded, he knew this Hulan. I used to be in the firearms camp. I have been to the northwest and am very good at shooting.
He took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, sat down and took a sip of tea before saying slowly: "Toktong'a, tell me about the situation on Bear Island."
"Hey! I was under orders at that time..."
Tokton'a talked non-stop for almost an hour, recounting in detail what happened from the time he went to Hunchun to the time he found the remains of Tomohuoguo and others.
"...Later, before Master Qing left, he asked me to lead the team back. That was the situation."
Fukang'an didn't express his opinion after hearing this. He looked at the map and pondered for a long time, and then ordered: "Tok Tong!"
"The mark is on!"
"I order you to act as the co-leader of Hunchun. You take my token and set off to Hunchun tomorrow to take charge. As soon as there is news, report it immediately!"
"Follow the Commander-in-Chief's orders!"
At this time, Hailan noticed Fukangan's tired face and knew that he was really tired. So he said to everyone: "The commander is about to change his clothes, you all should disperse."
"嗻!"
After everyone left the house, Fukangan asked Hailancha, "What do you think of this?"
Hailancha thought for a while and said: "I can't say, but I always feel uneasy. I think this matter is not that simple. Marshal, when was the last time the Oros invaded? It must have been more than a hundred years ago. Why did it come suddenly?"
Fukang'an smiled and said: "Since the time of the Holy Ancestor, the Oros people have been doing things together behind Junggar. I heard someone from the Lifan Yuan say a while ago that the Oros people are now in the same line with the Ottoman Empire in the west. There is a war in a place called the Black Sea. It is said that the war has been going back and forth for decades.
When I was here two years ago, the deputy commander of the three surnames once reported that someone north of Delengen had seen Oros hunters heading south, but they left quickly.
In my opinion, it is a group of pirates who raided Bear Island this time. If they just plundered and left, it would be a big deal if these pirates were still connected with the local criminals. "
After he finished speaking, he patted Hailancha on the shoulder and asked, "Is there anyone else at home here?"
Hailancha said: "There are also a few relatives whom I haven't seen for many years."
Doral Hailancha, a man with a yellow flag in Manchuria, has lived in Buthaalun River, Heilongjiang (under the jurisdiction of the Heilongjiang General Mansion).
In the 20th year of Qianlong's reign, Hailancha used Sauron's vest to conquer Junggar. Because of his bravery in battle, he was promoted to a first-class bodyguard.
From the 30th to the 33rd year of Qianlong's reign, he led the Qing army to fight in Burma as a vanguard. He once led 300 cavalry across the Wanren Pass and destroyed the Burmese army's stronghold on the bank of the Jiajiu River. After that, he participated in the second Battle of Jinchuan and Jinchuan, and later suppressed the rebellion in Qinghai. After his meritorious service, he was promoted to the rank of Zhenghuang Banner, where he led the bodyguards, ministers, and ministers.
(In a certain drama, Hai Lancha was played as Fu Heng’s good brother, a certain cutie. It’s so ridiculous! This person has nothing to do with “cute”.
However, the records of Hailancha in the later "Qingbai Leichao" are really too bizarre. It can only be said that Hailancha may have offended a certain scholar, and ended up being described as an orc. )
Fukangan was also tired at this time, and then waved his hand to ask Hailancha to step back. I sat in the house and looked at the map again.
